Have you checked Hillary's guest house?
Yeah and that's my point. There are those that just want to go out and have some fun shooting firearms occasionally for whatever reason and there really is no need for them to run anything high end. Then there are those that seek to step it up a notch and get into the whole training regimen on a regular basis for whatever reason that should indeed be investing more money into their kit.Why is it when people talk about black sporting rifles they immediately go to this shtf training scenario? There is maybe a thousandth of a percent that this scenario would ever play out, even then there will be maybe .01 percent of the population that is truly trained and ready. Much more likely and practical training is shooting off a bench to take out the rabid dog 40 yards of in a field, or maybe shooting a carbine competition. Or popping a can off of a fence post before your buddy hours it. Training for shtf is mostly fantasy played out. Even then we could take it further and say anyone who doesn't volunteer with the ypf and get real world shtf training is un prepared. People shoot ars because they are fun to shoot practical defense weapons with cheap ammo, not because they are readying themselves for the Russians to March on Indy.
My first AR has exactly 100 rounds through it. It had a 100 round break in procedure to follow. By the time I was done following that religiously, I was so peeved I never shot it again. First 10 rounds were one shot trips to the range and then home for a cleaning. I should have cleaned it at the range but just didn't like that idea.

Thank you. Somebody that won't flame me for paying $380 for a complete AR. It goes bang every time. Feeds another round every time. Oh yeah. It is really accurate to boot. I really like my crap AR. And I can afford to have 3 of them, plus optics and ammo.
Absolutely no knock on your choices and budget but why oh why have 3 crap cheap rifles.
I keep 1 myself. I call it the ammo hose. It is the BIL gun. If you come shooting with me and do not own/but want to run an AR that is the one you get to mag up and run. Reason being almost to the man/woman they do not get 5 rounds out before they become Mr rapid fire. They just can not help themselves or so it seems.
Cool. Have a blast. With the "Ammo Hose".....
I get to run my guns hard. You do not. Unless I say run it hard.
Question for the AR experts. Is an AR-Stoner BCG anywhere near the quality of a BCM BCG?
I am more old school with my firearms. I have only had AR's for the last 2 to 3 years. I have not had one fail yet. When I do, I will have a reason to upgrade. At this point, I have no reason. The last one I bought for the purpose of selling sometime later.
Best answer. Check post #114
If I had read post #82 I would not have replied at all...unless maybe to ask if a BCM BCG would improve my "junk" PSA?
FIFYGood solid points.
I guess I am just a bit nuts[STRIKE] when it comes to my passions[/STRIKE].

Nobody. PSA Premium BCGs are good to go. The rest, I wouldn’t trust. But you can always keep a back up BCG laying around. Toolcraft is GTG and has been selling for under $70. That’s cheap insurance.
If you already have an AR, as long as it’s mil-spec(ish), just replace parts as they fail. That’s the beauty of the AR. They’re easily serviced and modular.
ARs are the only platform I’ve never sold. They just get parts changed out.

A light coating of grease on the buffer spring and inside of the buffer tube makes the "Boingy, boingy, boingy" go away.
